. Application and January 1s, i921. serial No'. 436,992.

To aZZ whom t mog/cofrwmw' Be it known that we, Fano E. KLING and LUTHER-B. WEIDLEIN, citizens of the United States, and residents of Youngstown, in the county of Mahoning and State of Ohio, and

.Cleveland, in the c ounty of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, respectively, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Vi-v vide a vibrating mechanism having a spring accelerated action, thus providing -a short snappy vibratory stroke.

A turther object ot the invention is to provide a device of this character wherein the casing or stand will have little or no shock or strainfrom the vibrating parts, und whereby reaction of the shock is absorbed by Vthe reciprocating members and springs.`

Other objects and advantages of the invention will be more fully brought out in the following specification, and illhstrated in the accompanymg drawings in whirh- Figure 1 is a sectional side elevation of our improved vibrating or shaking mechanism applied to the filter matvof a dry gas cleaner.

ig. 2 is a sectional side elevationftaken .on the lineII-II of Fig'. 1. IA

Fig. 3 is a. transverse section taken on the line III-III of Fig. 2.

Referring-particularly to the drawings, the letter A designates the stand or casing of the devicevwhich` is approximately cylindrical in shape and' houses the actuating mechanism.

A cylindrical reciprocating plunger B, which is mounted within the casing, has a removable to or cap 2, the longitudinal side slots 3, and t e apertured bottom 4.

A power driven sha1". 5 is journaled in bearings 6 formed on the casing A and passes through the slots 3 in the plunger B. An eccentric 7 is rigidly mounted on the shaft and engages a bearing 8 having diametrically oppositely arranged protuberances 9 and 9. The top 0r cap 2 of the plunger and its bottom 4 each have annular protuberances or shoulders 10 and 11, respectively, centrally arranged and on aline with the protuberance on the bearing 8.

A coil spring 12 is mount-ed within the plunger B and bears around the protuberance 11 on the bottom, and protubcrance 9 on the eccentric. A second coil spring 13 is mounted within the plunger above the eccentric 7 and bears around the protuberance 10 on the top, and protuberance 9 on the eccentric.

A plul'iger r )d 15 which passes through the bottom of the plunger B, is a'djustably se# cured in place by the split locking collar 16 and clamping bolts 16', and extends downwardly through a stuflingboxy 17 and gland formed in the bottom plate of the 'stand or casing A.

The lower end of the rod 15 passes freely through an aperture. in the yoke 18 to which the filter mat 19 is rigidly secured, and the rod 15 has a hammer head2() secured thereto in any desired manner. The hammer head 2O is adapted to engage with the seat or anvil .21 formed around the aperture in the yoke.

The construction and arrangement of the apparatusis such that the hammer only engages the scat 21 on the upward stroke of the rod 1 5 and plunger B.

lt will be understood that filter mat 19 may be of any approved constructiom'but is usually inclosed within a frame member. and is adapted to be supported within the gas cleaner by I-beams 22 or other suitable supports.

The operation of the device is as follows- The shaft 5 being rotated by a suitable source of power will revolve the eccentric member 7 within the bearing 8. yStarting with the eccentric memberat dead center, it will be moved downwardcompressing the lower spring 12, which, in turn, transmits the energy to the reciprocating mass formed by the plunger B, rod 15, 'and hammer 20. This transmission of energy will cause the plunger B and its associated parts to move downward, compressin he upper spring 13, and when the eccentric has passed its lowest point. the kinetic energy of the parts will 4 journaled in bearings'on and thrown upward until the hammer 20 the yoke 18 -with a quick snappy blow. Im-

mediately the cycle of operations is again commenced. The springs 12 and 13 serve to produce the quick snappy action of the reciprocating' parts and to absorb the shock or vibration caused when the hammer 20 strikes the seat 2l, thus relieving the casing or stand A from this strain.

We claim:

1. A vibrating device comprising a casing, a' cylindrical -YYplunger member mounted .within Asaid casing, means tor guiding said said casing, a rotary shaft said casing'and passing through said plunger, an eccentric mounted on said shaft, a bearing mounted on said eccentric, a spring member having its one end-abutting said bearing and its other end abutting the top of said plunger, a vsecond spring member having its one end abutting lsaid bearing and its other end abutting'the bottom of said plunger, the rotation of said eccentric being adapted to actuate said springs to cause a reciprocation plunger within of said plunger.

2. The "combination with a filter mat having a yoke extending above its upper sur face, of a vibrating mechanism comprising a casing, a reciprocating cylindrical plunger mounted within said casing, a plunger rod secured to said plunger and extending downward through an opening in said yoke, a head on said rod adapted to strike said yoke when said rod is reciprocated, an eccentric mounted ,on a shaft journaled in said casing', a bearing adapted to be actuated by said eccentric, and a yieldable connection between both ends of said plunger und .said bearing.

3. The combination with a filter mat having a yoke extending above its upper surface and having a centrally arranged aperture therein, of a vibrating mechanism compris'- ing a casing, a reciprocating cylindrical plunger mounted within said casing, a plunger rod secured to said plunger and extending downward through said aperture in said yoke, a head on said rod adapted to engage a seat formed on said yoke around said aperture when said plunger and rod are reciprocated, and' means for reciprocating said plunger.

4. The combination with/a filter mat having a yoke extending' above its upper surface and having a centrally arranged aperture therein, of a vibrating mechanism comprising a casing, a reciprocating cylindrical plunger mounted within said casing, means for guiding said plunger within said casing, a p unger rod adjustably secured to said plunger and extending downward through said aperture in said yoke, a head on said rod adapted tri-engage a seat formed on said yoke around said aperture when said plunger and rod are reciprocated, a shaft journaled in said casing, an eccentric mounted on said shaft, a bearing carried by said eccentric. and springr members connecting the top and bottom surfaces of said plunger with said bearing.

In testimony whereof we have set our hands.
